Crafts for Dummies 1 review
Leslie Linsley
I D G Books Worldwide, 1999
crafts for dummies
This book allows you to 'get your feet wet' in crafting without having to spend a huge amount of money. It doesnt talk down to you or use a lot of jargon. All round I think its a pretty good beginners book.

Loved it!
I was looking for a book to help me figure out how to incorporate photographs in my volunteer work. Digital Imaging worked perfectly. The book is written just for me, no high tech mumbo jumbo. Loved the photos in the book, too.

Java in Plain English10 reviews
Overland
I D G Books Worldwide, 1997
Swiss Army Knife of Java manuals
I picked up this book on a whim, thinking it wouldn't be as good as Java in a Nutshell or Core Java, both of which are excellent books in and of themselves. Surprisingly, this contains a condensed version of most of the information of the above mentioned books. It lacks the extended examples of Core Java, but to a good student and intelligent reader, missing out on a few examples won't break your ...

if you need to get away....
Recently I went on a mystery New England road trip...so I decided to purchase a book to aid me along the way. This one came in quite handy! We went across Massachusetts, up Vermont, down New Hampshire, and even caught a glimpse of Maine--and had a great time, thanks to Frommer's! we were able to go on the back roads and see how it is really in those states, and at the same time incorporate some ...

Teach Yourself More Windows 98 VISUALLY4 reviews
Ruth Maran
I D G Books Worldwide, 1998
Colorful and Helpful in Times of Strezzzz!
After buying several other computer books about Window 95 and 98, I was greatful to stumble across this book. MS Windows is great in many ways, but frankly I am having more than my share of problems understanding this whole system. This book takes me by the hand and gently walks me through a number of tasks that would otherwise leave me a bit baffled. I don't recommend it as the only book; ...

Teach Yourself Windows NT 4 VISUALLY1 review
Ruth Maran
I D G Books Worldwide, 1998
Easy to read and understand!
This has to be one of the easiest computer books I have ever read! I learned everything I needed to know to get started with NT 4 in one sitting. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is just starting to work on NT 4. The visuals let you follow along without being on the computer. This is not a technical manual, but a tutor. Thanks for the simplicity!

Thought-Provoking Visit to the Funny and Familiar
The Road Runner cartoons are classic. Most of us grew up laughing out loud as Wile E. Coyote encountered one challenge after another in his attempts to capture the Road Runner. The scenarios were simple. The coyote devised ways to capture lunch, never winning the competition. His tools, all products of Acme Company, backfired on him. He caused himself a great deal of difficulty, while the Road ...

Novices and Beginners Take Heart!
I was thrown into handling our company's website after word got out that I had "web design experience". Laughable, considering I had only done a couple personal web pages that merely linked to other sites. After going through Dreamweaver's very brief manual, I realized that I needed something much more comprehensive. Armed with this book, determination, and a lot of experimenting, after two ...

What more good can be said...plenty!
I consider myself pretty fussy when it comes to computer books. It is rare that I will take the time to review a book here on Amazon. If I do it is because I either loved the book or I want to warn others from wasting money on it. Well fear not with this book my friends! The authors go to great lengths to reveal the many secrets of this wonderful program. For the novice reader there are ...

I grew up in the area, and surpised myself by purchasing this book before a trip back with my than 2 year old son...needless to say, in the past 3 years, every time I have taken him to NYC, we have had really fun filled, well organized plans thanks to this book...when traveling (anywhere) with children, there is nothing better than knowing exactly where you are going to eat at the end of the day, ...

Have a kid in your life? Run, don't walk, and buy this book!
I think I own every cooking book written for children. Honest. I have a stack of them. I am a Culinary Institue of America graduate. Teaching my children how to cook was top priority. There was just one problem with all the books written so far...they were written for children. In a typical children's cookbook there are great pictures and not much else that is of any help to anyone with a ...
